Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to inserting a gallery of images into a document that is accessed over a network, and more specifically, to the automated inclusion of a gallery of reduced-size or “thumbnail” images representing larger images in a Web page that will be accessible over the Internet or other network, so that the thumbnail images are arranged in a desired format, any of the original larger images being accessed and displayed in the Web page by selecting the thumbnail image corresponding to the original image.
  • Web page's full-size photos or other graphic images are not included in a Web page because most Internet users are limited to relatively slow network connections, such as a modem connected to the Internet over a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) line, operating at speeds less than 56 Kbits/sec.
  • POTS Plain Old Telephone Service
  • Graphically intensive Web pages generally do not load within a reasonable period of time (i.e., less than a minute) for users connected to the Internet through such a modem. Since images are a popular medium of expression in Web pages, there has been a conflict between the desire to incorporate image content in Web pages, and the need to limit the amount of data that must be transmitted per Web page, to reduce the time required to load a Web page.
  • One popular method of including images in Web pages while reducing the amount of data that must be transferred for each page is to include small images or thumbnail images in the Web page, each thumbnail image representing a corresponding larger image. Since the amount of data required in a Web page for displaying an image is directly proportional to the number of pixels in the displayed image, any reduction in the size of an image included in a Web page causes a corresponding decrease in the amount of data that must be downloaded by the user for viewing the image.
  • a thumbnail image created from an original (full size) image typically conveys sufficient information so that a person viewing the thumbnail image can visually determine the content of the original image.
  • Web pages that display thumbnail images instead of the original larger images download more quickly and still communicate the desired graphic content to the user.
  • Each thumbnail image is hyperlinked to its parent original image.
  • the original image will be transferred to the user's browser program so that the user can readily view the original image if desired.
  • the user can select and download only those original images that are of particular interest.
  • the present invention defines a method for enabling a user to automatically and simultaneously introduce a plurality of thumbnail images into a Web page to produce a gallery of the thumbnail images.
  • the thumbnail images represent a corresponding plurality of original images, and each thumbnail image is substantially smaller than its corresponding original image.
  • the method includes the step of enabling a user to select a plurality of original images that are to be represented by the thumbnail images.
  • a thumbnail image is automatically produced from each original image selected, and a formatting template is used to determine the relative position of each thumbnail image on a Web page.
  • a hyperlink linking each thumbnail image to its corresponding original image is automatically provided, in the Web page.
  • a user is enabled to save the Web page that includes the plurality of thumbnail images and the hyperlinks.
  • Each thumbnail image appears when the Web page is displayed, and each hyperlink enables the corresponding original image to be retrieved and displayed if a thumbnail image is selected and the hyperlink for the thumbnail image that was selected is activated.
  • a user is enabled to select from among a plurality of different templates that define the format and layout of the thumbnail images on the Web page.
  • the selected template is used to generate a Web page that includes the plurality of thumbnail images and each hyperlink in the format and layout defined by the template.
  • the plurality of templates preferably include a vertically oriented template, a horizontally oriented template, a slide show oriented template, and a montage template.
  • a user can define a custom template, save the custom template, and select the custom template, rather than selecting one of the plurality of templates that is provided.
  • the templates are defined using extensible style language.
  • each template includes at least one default parameter.
  • the default parameter can define a number of thumbnail images per row of the template, a height of each thumbnail, a width of each thumbnail, a title of the template, a description of the template, a preview image file name, and indicate any dependent files relating to the template.
  • the present invention When a selected template is used to generate a Web page, the present invention preferably creates a data manifest for the Web page, in extensible markup language (XML).
  • the data manifest includes at least thumbnail image data and hyperlink data. Once the data manifest is created, it is saved, and an extensible style language file that corresponds to the selected template is loaded.
  • the method uses the data manifest and the extensible style language file that corresponds to the selected template to generate a hypertext markup language (HTML) file for the Web page.
  • HTML hypertext markup language
  • the step of creating a data manifest in XML includes the steps of including a file-width attribute, a file-height attribute, and thumbnail image attributes such as a thumbnail height and a thumbnail width.
  • the step of creating a data manifest in XML incorporates including at least one of a file attribute, a caption element, and a description element.
  • Another feature of the present invention is enabling a user to edit a gallery of thumbnail images.
  • a user is enabled to view a preview and edit the Web page.
  • the edit function enables a user to select a different one of the plurality of templates than previously selected, and in response, the present invention automatically generates a revised Web page that includes the plurality of thumbnail images and their hyperlinks displayed according to a format provided by the different template. The user then can view the edited Web page, and either continue editing or save the edited Web page.
  • the edit function also enables a user to select an individual thumbnail to edit or delete, and to select one or more additional original images that will be represented by corresponding additional thumbnail images in the gallery on the Web page.
  • the present invention automatically generates a corresponding thumbnail image for each additional original image selected, provides a hyperlink between the thumbnail image and corresponding additional original image, and then adds the hyperlink and the thumbnail image to the gallery on the Web page.
  • a user can drag and drop the one or more additional original images onto the gallery on the Web page to indicate the selection.
  • editing a thumbnail image a user can resize the thumbnail image, crop it, rotate it, add a caption relating to the thumbnail image, delete an existing caption relating to the thumbnail image, or modify an existing caption relating thereto.
  • the step of selecting the original images that are to be represented by the plurality of thumbnail images can include the step of importing one or more image files from a storage device, importing one or more images from a scanner, and/or importing one or more images from a digital image capturing device.
  • the method of the present invention further preferably includes the step of enabling a user to link Web pages that each include a gallery of thumbnail images together.
  • a user links individual Web pages together by adding a navigation bar to each Web page.
  • aspects of the present invention are directed to a system for automatically producing a gallery of thumbnail sized images on a Web page, from a plurality of original images selected by a user, and to an article of manufacture including a computer-readable memory medium having computer-executable machine instructions that when executed by a processor, cause it to enable a user to automatically generate a gallery including a plurality of thumbnail images on a Web page, by selecting a plurality of original images.

A user has manipulated the size of the preview thumbnail image from a default size of 100 pixels about the primary axis to 75 ⁇ 75 pixels. Now if a user selects Default Size checkbox 130 , all other thumbnail images in the current gallery (those thumbnail images corresponding to the original parent images listed in list area 120 ) will have be displayed as thumbnail images having a size of 75 ⁇ 75 pixels.
